INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
April 27, 2007
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Albertville
Albertville, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business -
type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Albertville, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, which collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those Standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the governmental activities, business -type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Albertville, Minnesota,
as of December 31, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where
applicable, thereof and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
April 27, 2007, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing
of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

KERN-DEWENTER-VIERE
The Management's Discussion and Analysis, which follows this report letter, is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. We have applied certain limited procedures, which
consisted primarily of management inquiries regarding the methods of measurement and
presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and
express no opinion on it.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary
information identified in the Table of Contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied to the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2006
As management of the City of Albertville, we offer readers of the City of Albertville's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of
Albertville for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the City of Albertville exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal
year by $41,203,069 (net assets). Of this amount, $4,168,582 (unrestricted net assets) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Albertville's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $10,364,563.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved, undesignated fund balance for the general fund
was $549,004, or 17% of total general fund 2006 expenditures.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Albertville's
basic financial statements. The City of Albertville's basic financial statements are comprised of
three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) funds financial statements, and
3) notes to the financials statements. This report also contains other supplementary information
in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government -wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are
designated to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Albertville's finances, in a
manner similar to a private -sector business. There are two government -wide statements, the
Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities.
The statement of net assets presents information on all the City of Albertville's assets and
liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or
decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the
City of Albertville is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs; regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Albertville
that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)
from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through
user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City of
Albertville include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation and
economic development. The business -type activities of the City of Albertville include a Water,
Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer distribution and/or operation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2006
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of
Albertville, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of
Albertville can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on near -term inflow and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be
useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near -term
financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and the government -wide perspective.
The City of Albertville adopts an annual budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison
statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
Proprietary funds. The City of Albertville maintains three individual proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in
government -wide financial statements. The City of Albertville uses enterprise funds to account
for its Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Sewer distribution and operation.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide
financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of
Albertville's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to
a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Albertville, assets exceeded liabilities by $41,203,069 at the
close of the most recent fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2006
By far the largest portion of the City of Albertville net assets reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, and equipment) less any related debt used to acquire
those assets that is still outstanding. The City of Albertville uses these capital assets to provide
services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
the City of Albertville's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should
be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since
the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

An additional portion of the City of Albertville's net assets represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net
assets ($4,168,582) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
ChanLre in Net Assets
The increase in net assets occurs as a result of the City's revenues and transfers being more than
its expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, the City of Albertville uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental Activities.
The focus of the City of Albertville's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the City of Albertville's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may
serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of

contract with Wright County, a land purchase and some miscellaneous items. The increase of
$136,805 in public works was due to an employee retiring, street overlay project, street seal coat
project and some miscellaneous items. The increase in Economic Development was due to the
actual City of Albertville portion for the senior center was higher than expected. The overage in
Capital outlay for Public Safety was due to the purchase of a new fire truck.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES TO
THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES - GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
Total Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds $ (2,825,653)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
are different because:
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the Statement of
Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
Capital Outlays 3,851,975
Depreciation Expense (1,025,332)
Compensated absences are recognized as paid in the governmental funds but recognized
as the expense is incurred in the Statement of Activities. 540
Principal payments on long-term debt are recognized as expenditures in the governmental
funds, but as an increase in the net assets in the Statement of Activities. 725,000
Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the amount reported in the
governmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due and
thus requires use of current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, interest
expense is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. (1,268)
Bond discounts and issuance costs are amortized in the Statement of Activities, whereas
governmental funds record the discount and issuance cost as an expenditure at the time of issuance. (21,140)
Certain revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Deferred Special Assessments (1,287,494)
Notes Receivable (35,378)
Delinquent receivables will be collected in subsequent years, but are not available soon
enough to pay for the current period's expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds.
Delinquent Special Assessments 293,253
Delinquent Property Taxes 40,829
Sewer Access Capital Projects Fund is proprietary in nature and, therefore, is reported
with business -type activities. 865,178
Water Access Capital Projects Fund is proprietary in nature and, therefore, is reported
with business -type activities. (1,513,625)

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Albertville is a statutory city governed by an elected mayor and four council
members. The accompanying financial statements present the government entities for which the
government is considered to be financially accountable.
The financial statements present the City and its component units. The City includes all funds,
account groups, organizations, institutions, agencies, departments and offices that are not legally
separate from such. Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected
officials of the City are financially accountable and are included within the basic financial
statements of the City because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships
with the City.
The City is considered financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting
majority of the organization's governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization
by significantly influencing the programs, projects, activities or level of services performed or
provided by the organization, or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific
financial benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on, the City.
As a result of applying the component unit definition criteria above, certain organizations have
been defined in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
No. 14 and are presented in this report as follows:
Joint Ventures and Jointly Governed Organizations — The relationship of the City with the
entity is disclosed
For the category above, the specific entities are identified as follows:
1. Joint Ventures and Jointly Governed Organizations
Joint Powers Board Water Fund
In 1977, the City of Albertville entered into an agreement with the Cities of St. Michael,
Hanover and Frankfort Township to construct a water system under a grant bond
arrangement with the City of Albertville Economic Development Administration (EDA).
Water Revenue Bonds were issued in the name of the City of Albertville and purchased by
the City of Albertville EDA. The Joint Powers Board remits the annual bond and interest
payment to the City of Albertville which, in turn, remits the payment to the City of
Albertville EDA.

1. Joint Ventures and Jointly Governed Organizations (Continued)
Joint Powers Board Water Fund (Continued)
The Joint Powers Agreement states in the event the Joint Powers Board Water Fund does not
generate sufficient revenue to pay operating costs and principal and interest on bonds, the
participants agree to contribute from their General Fund an amount sufficient to pay for such
deficiency. At the time of the original Agreement, each City and Town was to contribute
25% of the required amount. In 1996, Frankfort Township was annexed into the Cities of St.
Michael, Albertville and Otsego and no longer exists as a township. Therefore, the City of
Albertville is now required to contribute one-third of any potential deficiencies of the Joint
Powers Board.
A summary of the financial information of the Joint Powers Board Water Fund for the year
ended December 31, 2006 is:
Total Assets $ 26,659,818
Total Liabilities $ 13,462,113
Total Net Assets 13,197,705
Total Liabilities and Net Assets $ 26,659,818
Operating Revenue $ 2,047,923

Other Income (Expense) 541,708
Change in Net Assets $ 1,418,931
Financial statements for the Joint Powers Board Water Fund may be obtained at the
Albertville City Hall.
St. Michael -Albertville Ice Arena
In 1996 and 1997, the City of Albertville entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the City
of St. Michael and Independent School District No. 885, St. Michael -Albertville, for
construction and maintenance of a qualified ice arena. In addition, the City received notice in
1996 of being selected as a Mighty Ducks Grant recipient to help fund the cost of the
St. Michael -Albertville Ice Arena (STMA Arena). The STMA Arena was constructed with the
Mighty Ducks Grant funds, donations and contributions by the Cities of St. Michael and
Albertville and Independent School District No. 885.

St. Michael -Albertville Ice Arena (Continued)
The Joint Powers Agreement states the City is to execute a revenue note in the amount of
$ 133,333, which will be paid back with funds available from the operation of the STMA
Arena. The total amount of the revenue note is to be $ 400,000, of which each participant is
one-third responsible. If funds are deficient, the City must pay one-third of the amount
necessary to make up the shortage. In addition, the City must allocate an amount sufficient
to pay one-third of any projected shortfall in annual revenues available for the operation and
maintenance of the STMA Arena.
During 1998, the City contributed the required $ 133,333 toward the STMA Arena. In
addition, in 1998 the City's Storm Water Enterprise Fund provided STMA Arena with a
short-term loan in the amount of $ 83,333. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, the City did not make
any contributions nor receive any payments on the loan. The City did, however, cancel the
short-term loan, due from other governments, in the amount of $ 83,333 as a bad debt
expense.
A summary of the financial information of the STMA Arena for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (information for 2006 was not available) is:
Total Assets $ 828,081
Total Liabilities $ 681,688

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. The fiduciary
funds are only reported in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets at the fund financial statement
level. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these Statements.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues,
are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees
and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Interest on general long-term debt is
considered an indirect expense and is reported separately in the Statement of Activities.
Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly
benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants
and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements.
The Agency Funds are presented in the fiduciary fund financial statements. Since, by definition,
these assets are being held for the benefit of a third party (other local governments, private
parties, etc.) and cannot be used to address activities or obligations of the City, these Funds are
not incorporated into the government -wide statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary
fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized
as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as
revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when
a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well
as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only
when payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are
all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the
current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current
fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All
other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received
by the City.
Description of Funds:
Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund — This Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general City, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
2003A G.O. Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund — This Fund accounts for the debt
associated with street improvement projects.
Sewer Access Capital Projects Fund — This Fund accounts for the resources accumulated
from sewer availability charges collected by the City.
Water Access Capital Projects Fund — This Fund accounts for the resources accumulated for
water access connection collected by the City.
Closed Capital Projects Fund — This Fund accounts for costs associated with replacement of
the City's utility and road systems. It also covers minor costs for project funds closed and
completed.
Prairie Run Capital Projects Fund — This Fund accounts for the resources and payments made
for construction of public improvements at the Prairie Run Development.
City Hall Capital Projects Fund — This Fund accounts for the resources and payments made
for construction of the City Hall.

Major Governmental Funds: (Continued)
Ice Arena Locker Rooms — This Fund accounts for the resources and payments made for
construction of the ice arena locker rooms.
52"d Street Industrial Park — This Fund accounts for the resources and payments made for
construction related to the Industrial Park.
Major Proprietary Funds:
Sanitary Sewer Fund — This Fund accounts for the operations of the City's sanitary sewer
utility.
Water Fund — This Fund accounts for the operations of the City's water utility.
Storm Water Fund — This Fund accounts for the activities of the City's storm drainage
operations.
Fiduciary Fund:
Agency Funds — These Funds account for landscaping escrow deposits and funds for the
City's "Friendly Days" held by the City in a strictly custodial capacity.
Private -sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements to
the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the GASB.
Governments also have the option of following subsequent private -sector guidance for their
business -type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has
elected not to follow subsequent private -sector guidance.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -
wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the City's
sanitary sewer function and various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges
would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
(Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as
general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The
principal operating revenues of the Sanitary Sewer, Water and Storm Water Enterprise Funds are
charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the
cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition.
Minnesota Statutes authorizes the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies
and instrumentalities, shares of investment companies whose only investments are in the
aforementioned securities, obligations of the State of Minnesota or its municipalities,
bankers' acceptances, future contracts, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and
commercial paper of the highest quality with a maturity of no longer than 270 days and in the
Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool.
Custodial Credit Risk — Deposits: Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank
failure, the City's deposits may not be returned to it. Minnesota Statutes require all deposits
made by cities with financial institutions are collateralized in an amount equal to 110% of
deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance.

D. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity (Continued)
1. Deposits and Investments (Continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk: The City's investment policy has addressed concentration of
credit risk as to diversification and is required to limit potential losses to no more than the
income generated by the portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk: The City's policy also addresses interest rate risk by not allowing the
City to invest in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase. Also, no
more than 50% of the dollar value of the City's investments will mature more than two years
from the date of purchase. The City will not purchase investments that cannot be held to
maturity. The policy also covers that the City will handle its investment transactions with
several legal, competing, reputable investment security dealers. The City's policy has not
addressed exposure to credit risk and custodial credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk — Investments: For an investment, this is the risk that in the event of
the failure of the counterparty the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment
or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
Investments for the City are reported at fair value. The Minnesota Municipal Investment
Pool is an external investment pool not registered with the Securities Exchange Commission
(SEC) that follows the same regulatory rules of the SEC under Rule 2.a.7. The fair value of
the position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
2. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Public Facilities Authority's revenue bonds, as well as certain
resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets in the Balance
Sheet — Governmental Funds Statement because they are maintained in separate bank
accounts and their use is limited by the Public Facilities Authority Loan Agreement.
3. Property Tax Receivables
All property tax receivables are shown at a gross amount since both are assessable to the
property taxes and are collectible upon the sale of the property.

3. Property Tax Receivables (Continued)
The City levies its property tax for the subsequent year during the month of December.
December 28 is the last day the City can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection
the following year. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by
the City at that date. The property tax is recorded as revenue when it becomes measurable and
available. Wright County is the collecting agency for the levy and remits the collections to the
City three times a year. The tax levy notice is mailed in March with the first half of the
payment due on May 15 and the second half of the payment due on October 15. Taxes not
collected as of December 31 each year are shown as delinquent taxes receivable.
The County Auditor prepares the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the
applicable tax rate to the tax capacity of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for
each property. The County Auditor also collects all special assessments, except for certain
prepayments paid directly to the City.
The County Auditor submits the list of taxes and special assessments to be collected on each
parcel of property to the County Treasurer in January of each year.
4. Land Held for Resale
The City of Albertville acquires properties for redevelopment purposes. Land held for resale
is reported as an asset at its net realizable value in the 2003 G.O. Improvement Bonds Debt
Service Fund. Any costs incurred that are above a property's net realizable value are
reported as expenditures of the current period. Land Held for Resale is offset by a fund
balance reservation in the 2003 G.O. Improvement Bonds Debt Service Fund to indicate that
it is not available for appropriation and is not expendable available financial resources.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type
activities columns in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by
the City as assets with an estimated useful life greater than one year and with an initial
individual cost as shown on the following page.

The City compensates employees who resign or retire with due notice for unused vacation
and compensatory time. Employees may carry over vacation time from one vacation year to
another vacation year as established by the employee's anniversary date. Compensatory time
is accumulated at 1.5 times for overtime hours worked. A maximum of 40 hours of
compensatory time may be accumulated.
Full-time employees are entitled to sick leave at the rate of one day per month to a maximum
of 120 days, or 480 hours. Hours accumulated in excess of the maximum are applied to the
City's sick leave incentive program. An employee earns 1/4 day paid vacation or 1/4 days'
pay in lieu of excess sick leave at the employee's option. This option is only active and
available when the beginning sick leave balance for each month is 60 days. The cash in lieu
option is paid in December of each year.

6. Vacation, Sick and Compensatory Benefits (Continued)
Vacation, sick and compensatory benefits are considered expenditures in the year due in the
governmental fund types, while in the proprietary fund types, vacation and sick pay are
charged to expense when earned. All estimated vacation and compensatory benefit time is
recorded when incurred in the government -wide and proprietary fund statements.
7. Long -Term Obligations
In the government -wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business -type activities or proprietary fund type
Statement of Net Assets.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are
reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other
financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
8. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for
use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management
plans that are subject to change.
9. Net Assets
Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities in the government -wide
financial statements. Net Assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of
capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balance of any
long-term debt used to build or acquire the capital assets. Net assets are reported as restricted
in the government -wide financial statement when there are limitations on their use through
external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other
governments.

10. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
11. Change in Accounting Principle
The City changed the cash and investment footnote (Note 3.B.) presentation from weighted
average maturity to segmented time. There is no financial impact as a result of this change.
NOTE 2 — STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgetary Information
1. In August of each year, City staff submits to the City Council, a proposed operating
budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them for the upcoming year.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution after obtaining taxpayer
comments.
4. Budgets for the General and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis consistent
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
5. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level.
No fund's budget can be increased without City Council approval. The City Council may
authorize transfer of budgeted amounts between departments within any fund.
Management may amend budgets within a department level, so long as the total
department budget is not changed.
6. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted during the year for the General and Special
Revenue Funds. Annual appropriated budgets are not adopted for Debt Service Funds
because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved through bond indenture
provisions. Budgetary control for Capital Projects Funds is accomplished through the use
of project controls and formal appropriated budgets are not adopted.

NOTE 9 — RISK MANAGEMENT
The City purchases commercial insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust with other cities in the state, which is a public entity risk pool currently operating
as a common risk management and insurance program. The City pays an annual premium to the
League for its insurance coverage. The League is self-sustaining through commercial companies
for excess claims. The City is covered through the pool for any claims incurred but unreported,
but retains risk for the deductible portion of its insurance policies. The amount of these
deductibles is considered immaterial to the financial statements.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess
of insurance coverage for any of the past three fiscal years.
The City's workers' compensation insurance policy is retrospectively rated. With this type of
policy, final premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium
adjustment for 2006 is estimated to be immaterial based on workers' compensation rates and
salaries for the year.
At December 31, 2006, there were no other claims liabilities reported in the Fund based on the
requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires a liability for claims be reported if
information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a
liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated.
NOTE 10 — DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS — STATE-WIDE
Public Employees' Retirement Association
A. Plan Description
All full-time and certain part-time employees of the City Albertville are covered by defined
benefit plans administered by the Public Employees' Retirement Association of Minnesota
(PERA). PERA administers the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF) and the Public
Employees Police and Fire Fund (PEPFF), which are cost -sharing, multiple -employer retirement
plan. These Plans are established and administered in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
Chapters 353 and 356.
PERF members belong to either the Coordinated Plan or Basic Plan. Coordinated Plan members
are covered by social security and Basic Plan members are not. All new members must
participate in the Coordinated Plan. All police officers, firefighters and peace officers who
qualify for membership by statute are covered by the PEPFF.
PERA provides retirement benefits as well as disability benefits to members, and benefits to
survivors upon death of eligible members. Benefits are established by state statute, and vest after
three years of credited service. The defined retirement benefits are based on a member's highest
average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age and years of credit at
termination of service.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 10 — DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS — STATE-WIDE
Public Employees' Retirement Association (Continued)
A. Plan Description (Continued)
Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA's Coordinated and Basic Plan members.
The retiring member receives the higher of a step -rate benefit accrual formula (Method 1) or a
level accrual formula (Method 2). Under Method 1, the annuity accrual rate for a Basic Plan
member is 2.2% of average salary for each of the first 10 years of service and 2.7% for each
remaining year. The annuity accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average
salary for each of the first 10 years and 1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the
annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for Basic Plan members and 1.7% for Coordinated
Plan members for each year of service. For PEPFF members, the annuity accrual rate is 3.0% for
each year of service. For all PEPFF and PERF members hired prior to July 1, 1989, whose
annuity is calculated using Method 1, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service
equal 90. Normal retirement age is 55 for PEPFF and 65 for Basic and Coordinated Plan
members hired prior to July 1, 1989. Normal retirement age for unreduced social security
benefits is capped at 66 for Coordinated Plan members hired on or after July 1, 1989. A reduced
retirement annuity is also available to eligible members seeking early retirement.
There are different types of annuities available to members upon retirement. A single -life
annuity is a lifetime annuity that ceases upon the death of the retiree -no survivor annuity is
payable. There are also various types of joint and survivor annuity options available which will
be payable over joint lives. Members may also leave their contributions in the Fund upon
termination of public service in order to qualify for a deferred annuity at retirement age.
Refunds of contributions are available at any time to members who leave public service, but
before retirement benefits begin.
The benefit provisions stated in the previous paragraphs of this section are current provisions and
apply to active Plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but
are not yet receiving them, are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated
their public service.
PERA issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for PERF. That report may be obtained on the Internet at
www.mnpera.org, by writing to PER.A at 60 Empire Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, Minnesota

NOTE 10 — DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS — STATE-WIDE

B. Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These
Statutes are established and amended by the state legislature. The City makes annual contributions
to the pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. PERF Basic Plan members and
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1% and 5.5%, respectively, of their
annual covered salary in 2006. Contribution rates in the Coordinated Plan will increase in 2007 to
5.75%. PEPFF members were required to contribute 7.0% of their annual covered salary in 2006.
That rate will increase to 7.8% in 2007. The City of Albertville is required to contribute the
following percentages of annual covered payroll: 11.78% for Basic Plan PERF members, 6.0% for
Coordinated Plan PERF members and 10.5% for PEPFF members. Employer contribution rates
for the Coordinated Plan and PEPFF will increase to 6.25% and 11.7%, respectively, effective
January 1, 2007. The City's contributions to the PERF for the years ending December 31, 2006,
2005 and 2004 were $ 34,470, $ 27,219 and $ 24,493, respectively. The City's contributions were
equal to the contractually required contributions for each year as set by state statute.
NOTE 11 — CONDUIT DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Conduit debt obligations are certain limited -obligation revenue bonds or similar debt instruments
issued for the express purpose of providing capital financing for a specific third party. The City
has issued revenue bonds to provide funding to private -sector entities for projects deemed to be
in the public interest. Although these bonds bear the name of the City, the City has no
obligations for such debt beyond the resources provided by related leases or loans. Accordingly,
the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the financial statements of the City.

$ 2,387,326 and infrastructure overstated at $ 544,966. Net assets for the Sewer Fund were
restated by $ 233,921 to reflect assets not captured in a prior year. Within the fund financial
statements a prior period adjustment of $ 2,827,106 was recorded to reflect land held for resale
previously classified as capitalized land. A $ (41,392) adjustment was recorded to reflect
additional project liabilities and fund balance in the Closed Capital Projects Fund was restated by
$ 97,632 to reflect a reduction in contracts payable for contracts that were paid in full during
2005.
NOTE 15 — LAWSUITS/CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Subsequent to year-end and at December 31, 2006, the City was involved as a defendant in two
lawsuits. Both lawsuits, unless settled, are expected to go to trial in December of 2007. The
outcome and any potential contingent liability is unknown.

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
April 27, 2007
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Albertville
Albertville, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Silver
Bay, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and have issued our report
thereon dated April 27, 2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. However, as discussed on the following page, we identified certain deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
71
V+,D_V
KERN DEWE N'rER VIERS
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course or performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination
of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record,
process or report financial data reliably in accordance with the regulatory basis of accounting
such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City's financial
statements that is more than inconsequential will not be detected by the City's internal control.
We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings on Legal
Compliance and Internal Controls as Audit Findings 06-04, 06-05 and 06-06 to be significant
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements
will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. We consider the deficiencies
described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings on Legal Compliance and Internal Controls
as Audit Findings 06-01 and 06-02 to be material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies
in the internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not
necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material
weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that
we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free
of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an
opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of
noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We also noted certain additional matters that we reported to management of the City in a
separate letter dated April 27, 2007.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management,
federal and state oversight awarding agencies and pass -through entities and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

REPORT ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
April 27, 2007
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Albertville
Albertville, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business -type activities,
each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Albertville,
Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and have issued our report thereon
dated April 27, 2007.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the
provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government, promulgated
by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sec. 6.65. Accordingly, the audit included
such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Local Government covers seven main
categories of compliance to be tested: contracting and bidding, deposits and investments,
conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions
and tax increment financing. Our study included all of the listed categories.
The results of our tests indicate that for the items tested, the City of Albertville, Minnesota,
complied with the material terms and conditions of applicable legal provisions, except as
described in the Schedule of Findings on Legal Compliance and Internal Controls.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, management and
the Office of the State Auditor, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Year Ended December 31, 2006
CURRENT AND PRIOR YEAR LEGAL COMPLIANCE FINDINGS:
During our audit, we noted there was an expenditure to purchase employee gift certificates.
Expenditures by a city should meet a public purpose test. The Minnesota Attorney General's
Office has the opinion that payments for employee appreciation do not qualify as a public
purpose expenditure.
We recommend the City refrain from paying for items that do not meet a public purpose.
PRIOR YEAR LEGAL COMPLIANCE FINDING:
According to Minnesota Statutes 471.425, Subd. 4a, requires contracts of a municipality to have
the prime contractor pay any subcontractor within 10 days of the prime contractor's receipt of
payment. The contract also must require that the prime contractor pay interest at the rate of 1.5%
per month or any part of a month to the subcontractor for any undisputed amount not paid to the
subcontractor within the 10 days.
For the contract entered into during fiscal year 2005 for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase II
Expansion, the City did not include this verbiage in the contract.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
Wright County, Minnesota
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Year Ended December 31, 2006
CURRENT YEAR INTERNAL CONTROL FINDINGS:
Material Weakness
Audit Finding 06-01 — Material Audit Adjustments
We proposed a number of audit adjustments that we considered both individually and in
the aggregate, to be quantitatively material to the financial statements. The audit
adjustments we proposed that were material to the financial statements related to
reclassifications of capital assets, investments and related revenue, receivables, property
taxes, special assessments, debt and accounts/contracts payable and reclassification of
back dated checks as accounts payable.
In addition, KDV drafted the financial statements for the City. These financial
statements, including disclosures, were reviewed by City management and they have
taken responsibility for them; however, we believe City personnel would require
additional training in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to adequately apply
them internally.
Audit Finding 06-02 — Prior Period Adjustments
Prior period adjustments were proposed to correct prior financial statements. In the
Sewer Fund the adjustments were for capital assets that were not recorded in previous
years that were identified during our audit. In the Closed Capital Projects Fund contracts
payable was recorded in error for projects completed and paid for as of December 31,
2005. In the government -wide financial statements the prior period adjustment was due
to construction in progress that was previously capitalized as a capital asset, essentially
recording the asset twice.
The financial statements are the responsibility of the City Council and management's
controls should be implemented to properly identify completed projects and the
appropriate presentation of these items as it relates to the financial statements.

Wright County, Minnesota
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Year Ended December 31, 2006
CURRENT YEAR INTERNAL CONTROL FINDINGS:
Significant Deficiency
Audit Finding 06-03 — Lack of Segregation of Accounting Duties
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the City had a lack of segregation of accounting
duties due to a limited number of office employees. Although this meets the definition of a
"significant deficiency," it may not be practical to correct since the costs of obtaining
desirable segregation of accounting duties may exceed benefits that could be derived.
• The Finance Director receives the bank statement and initiates and posts journal entries.
The Finance Director also initiates and posts wire transfers without approval or review.
• The Finance Director receives the investment statements, records maturities and
issuances of new investments and posts entries into the accounting system for interest
receivable, revenue and market value changes in investments.
• The Finance Director maintains and reviews vacation time, sick time and compensatory
time accrual accounts.
• The Finance Director enters invoices into the accounting system, maintains the invoices
for payment and matches check summary with summary of invoices.
• The Finance Director matches the purchase requisition and invoice, approves invoices
for payment, posts the payments to the general ledger and is responsible for the
signature stamp.
In addition to having responsibilities in the cycles listed above, the City's Finance
Director has full general ledger access and the ability to write and post journal entries.
While we believe this access is necessary to efficiently perform the financial duties
required, this access has the ability to override many of the controls and segregation that
the city has in place.
Audit Finding 06-04 — Balance Cash on a Timely Basis/Review and Approval of
Reconciliation
During our audit, we noted cash balances are not reconciled to the general ledger. It is
critical to ensure cash is reconciled on a monthly basis.
Failure to reconcile these accounts on a monthly basis can generate mispostings and
inaccurate accounting records and does not provide current reliable cash balance
information for the City Council to gauge expenditure needs. We recommend cash
balances be reconciled to the general ledger on a monthly basis, and all variances be
investigated.
Further, we recommend that the reconciliation of the investments include specific
procedures for identifying the changes in market value and investment income and these
be recorded timely.
76

Wright County, Minnesota
SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Year Ended December 31, 2006
CURRENT YEAR INTERNAL CONTROL FINDINGS:
Significant Deficiency
Audit Finding 06-05 — Reconcile Withholding Accounts
During our audit, we noted the payroll withholding accounts on the City's financial
records are not reconciled. All payroll withholding accounts should be reconciled on a
regular basis to ensure proper withholding amounts are posted to the general ledger and
paid.
We recommend the Finance Director reconcile the payroll withholding accounts monthly
to ensure the proper balances are recorded. The monthly reconciliations should be
reviewed for accuracy by another City employee (City Clerk or City Administrator). The
reconciliations should include signature blocks for the preparer and the reviewer.

KERN • DEWENTER•VIERE
April 27, 2007
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Albertville
Albertville, Minnesota
The accompanying memorandum includes financial trend information for your City and
suggestions for improvement of accounting procedures and internal accounting control measures
that came to our attention as a result of our audit of the basic financial statements of the City of
Albertville, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The matters discussed herein
were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion expressed in our
Independent Auditors' Report dated April 27, 2007, on such statements.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Albertville,
Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted auditing standards, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting
(internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Also, projection of any evaluation of the
internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. However, as
discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
significant deficiencies and other deficiencies that we consider to be material weaknesses.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination
of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the City's ability to initiate, authorize, record,
process or report financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City's
financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the
City's internal control. We consider the following deficiencies to be significant deficiencies in
internal control:
• Lack of Segregation of Accounting Duties
• Cash did not balance to General Ledger at year-end
• Withholding Accounts are not reconciled on a regular basis
Y\D-V
KERN-DEWENTER-V[ERE
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements
will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control. We believe the following
deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
• Material Adjustments
• Prior Period Adjustments
The accompanying memorandum includes financial trend information for your City and
recommendations for improvement of accounting procedures and internal accounting control
measures that came to our attention as a result of our audit of the basic financial statements of
Albertville, Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The matters discussed herein
were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion expressed in our
Independent Auditors' Report dated April 27, 2007, on such statements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City's management, City
Council and federal and state oversight agencies, and others within the City and is not intended
to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
We would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation extended to us by the management
and employees of the City during our audit.

MATTERS OF COMMUNCIATION
December 31, 2006
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Albertville, Minnesota, for the year
ended December 31, 2006 and have issued our report dated April 27, 2007. Professional
standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.
THE AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY UNDER U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED
AUDITING STANDARDS AND GO VERNMENT A UDITING STANDARDS
As stated in our audit engagement letter, our responsibility, as described by professional
standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
the basic financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because an audit is designed to
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we did not perform a detailed
examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be
detected by us.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City. Such considerations were
solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance
concerning such internal control.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management has the responsibility for selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In
accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we will advise management about the
appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies
used by the City are described in Note 1 of the financial statements.
We noted no significant unusual transactions and one significant accounting policies in
controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
MANAGEMENT JUDGMENTS AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the basic financial statements prepared by
management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current
events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to the basic financial statements and because of the
possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected.
The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was:
• Depreciation — The City is currently depreciating its capital assets over their estimated
useful lives, as determined by management, using the straight-line method.
• Expense Allocation — Certain expenses are allocated to functions based on an estimate of
the benefit to that particular function. Examples are salaries, benefits and supplies.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimate in determining
that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
Wright County, Minnesota
MATTERS OF COMMUNCIATION
December 31, 2006
SIGNIFICANT AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS
An audit adjustment, whether or not recorded by the City, is a proposed correction of the basic
financial statements that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our
auditing procedures performed. Audit adjustments, individually or in the aggregate, may have a
significant effect on the City's financial reporting process. Matters underlying adjustments
proposed by us but not recorded by the City could potentially cause future financial statements to
be materially misstated, even though we may have concluded that the adjustments are not
material to the current financial statements.
We proposed significant audit adjustments in the following areas: capital assets, investments and
related revenue, receivables, property taxes, special assessments, debt and accounts/contracts
payable. All entries proposed by us were recorded by the City.
DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT
Disagreements with management, whether or not satisfactorily resolved, are defined as matters
that individually or in the aggregate could be significant to the City's financial statements or the
auditors' report. Disagreements may occasionally arise over the application of accounting
principles to the City's specific transactions and events and the basis for management's
judgments about accounting estimates. Disagreements may also arise regarding the scope of the
audit, disclosures to be included in the City's financial statements, and the wording of the
auditors' report.
No such disagreements with management occurred during the course of our audit.
CONSULTATIONS WITH OTHER ACCOUNTANTS
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the
City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be
expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to
check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts.
We are aware of no consultations by the City's management with other accountants during the
course of our audit.
MAJOR ISSUES DISCUSSED WITH MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO RETENTION
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management prior to retention as the City's auditors.
These discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our
responses were not a condition to our retention.
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED IN PERFORMING THE AUDIT
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management related to the performance of our
audit.

ALL CITY DISBURSEMENTS MUST BE PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURES
During our audit, we noted there was an expenditure made to purchase employee gift certificates.

Office has the opinion that payments for employee appreciation do not qualify as public purpose
expenditures.
We recommend the City refrain from paying for items that are not for a public purpose.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
Wright County, Minnesota
MATERIAL WEAKNESSES
December 31, 2006
MATERIAL AUDIT ADJUSTMENTS
We proposed a number of audit adjustments that we considered both individually and in the
aggregate, to be quantitatively material to the financial statements. The audit adjustments we
proposed that were material to the financial statements related to reclassifications of capital
assets, investments and related revenue, receivables, special assessments, property taxes, debt
and accounts/contracts payable and reclassification of back dated checks as accounts payable.
In addition, KDV drafted the financial statements for the City. These financial statements,
including disclosures, were reviewed by City management and they have taken responsibility for
them; however, we believe City personnel would require additional training in U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles to adequately apply them internally.
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS
Prior period adjustments were proposed to correct prior financial statements. In the Sewer Fund,
the adjustments were for capital assets not recorded in previous years that were identified during
our audit. In the closed Capital Project Fund, contracts payable was recorded in error for
projects completed and paid for as of December 31, 2005. In the government -wide financial
statements, the prior period adjustment was due to construction in progress that was previously
capitalized as a capital asset, essentially recording the asset twice.
The financial statements are the responsibility of the City Council and management. Controls
should be implemented to properly identify completed projects and the appropriate presentation
of these items as it relates to the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES

LACK OF SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNTING DUTIES
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the City had a lack of segregation of accounting duties
due to a limited number of office employees. Although this meets the definition of a "significant
deficiency," it may not be practical to correct since the costs of obtaining desirable segregation of
accounting duties may exceed benefits that could be derived.
• The Finance Director receives the bank statement and initiates and posts journal entries.
The Finance Director also initiates and posts wire transfers without approval or review.
• The Finance Director receives the investment statements, records maturities and issuances
of new investments and posts entries into the accounting system for interest receivable,
revenue and market value changes in investments.
• The Finance Director maintains and reviews vacation time, sick time and compensatory
time accrual accounts.
• The Finance Director enters invoices into the accounting system, maintains the invoices for
payment and matches check summary with summary of invoices.
• The Finance Director matches the purchase requisition and invoice, approves invoices for
payment, posts the payments to the general ledger and is responsible for the signature
stamp.
In addition to having responsibilities in the cycles listed above, the City's Finance Director has
full general ledger access and the ability to write and post journal entries. While we believe this
access is necessary to efficiently perform the financial duties required, this access has the ability
to override many of the controls and segregation that the City has in place.
BALANCE CASH ON A TIMELY BASIS/REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF
RECONCILIATION
During our audit, we noted cash balances are not reconciled to the general ledger. It is critical to
ensure cash is reconciled on a monthly basis.
Failure to reconcile these accounts on a monthly basis can generate mispostings and inaccurate
accounting records and does not provide current reliable cash balance information for the City
Council to gauge expenditure needs. We recommend cash balances be reconciled to the general
ledger on a monthly basis, and all variances be investigated.
Further, we recommend the reconciliation of the investments include specific procedures for
identifying the changes in market value and investment income and these be recorded timely.

RECONCILE WITHHOLDING ACCOUNTS
During our audit, we noted the payroll withholding accounts on the City's financial records are
not reconciled. All payroll withholding accounts should be reconciled on a regular basis to
ensure proper withholding amounts are posted to the general ledger and paid.
We recommend the Finance Director reconcile the payroll withholding accounts monthly to
ensure the proper balances are recorded. The monthly reconciliations should be reviewed for
accuracy by another City employee (City Clerk or City Administrator). The reconciliations
should include signature blocks for the preparer and the reviewer.

CONTROL DEFICIENCIES
December 31, 2006
UPDATE AUTHORIZED SIGNER CARDS HELD AT BANK
Copies of signature cards maintained at Premier Bank were reviewed during our audit process.
We noted only one signature was required for withdrawals. It is essential for the Finance
Director to update the signature card to require two signatures since it is the City's internal
control to have checks signed by two authorized signers.
We recommend the Finance Director update its authorized signature card at Premier Bank to
require two signatures for withdrawal of funds.
In addition, it was noted an authorized signer at Rogers State Bank was no longer an employee of
the City. We recommend the Finance Director obtain a current authorized signers card from the
bank and make the appropriate changes.
ESTABLISH AN APPROVAL PROCESS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES
During our audit and test of the journal entry process, we noted journal entries are not approved
by someone other than the person writing the entry.
Due to the lack of segregation of accounting duties, we recommend each journal entry include
adequate documentation and be reviewed/approved by a second person to ensure accuracy.
MAINTAIN PROPER SEQUENCING OF CHECKS AND PROPRIETY OF CASH
CUTOFF
The numerical sequencing of checks did not follow the dates checks were written. This occurred
as a result of an accounts payable batch of checks actually written in 2007, but posted to the
general ledger for 2006. When checks are written out of order or dates when checks are written
are not accurate, it compromises the sequencing which helps to ensure that all disbursements are
accounted for.
We recommend the Finance Director maintain proper sequencing of checks numerically and by
date. This becomes even more important during year-end procedures.

MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
December 31, 2006
NEGATIVE CASH BALANCES/FUND BALANCE DEFICITS
At December 31, 2006, 14 of the City's funds had a deficit cash balance. The proper
presentation of these deficits is through the use of interfund loans. We recommend the Council
develop a plan that details which funds should be loaning cash to the funds with a negative cash
balance.
In addition to the negative cash balances, all but one of these funds also has deficit fund balance
position. If these projects are substantially completed, the funds should be closed and the deficit
eliminated as soon as all portions of the project have been paid for.
For projects that are just beginning, we recommend the Council develop a plan for funding that
would include what the expected sources of revenue are and also where the fund should be
closed to if the project is determined to be unachievable or is complete.
STATEMENTS OF AUDITING STANDARDS (STANDARDS) NOS. 104-111
In March 2006, the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) issued Statements of Auditing Standards
(Standards) Nos. 104 - I I I that provide extensive guidance concerning the auditors' assessment
of the risks of material misstatement in a financial statement audit and the design and
performance of audit procedures whose nature, timing and extent are in response to the identified
assessed risks. Additionally, the Standards establish standards and provide guidance on planning
and supervision, the nature of audit evidence and evaluating whether the audit evidence obtained
provides a reasonable basis for an opinion on the financial statements being audited. These
Standards will be effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2006.
Audit teams will be performing additional procedures to gain a more in-depth understanding of
the City's environment, including its internal control. This will involve evaluating the design of
the controls and determining those controls have been implemented. The audit procedures
performed to obtain the necessary understanding are called "risk assessment procedures" and
require more than simple inquiries of management. The Standards specifically call for inquiries
of management and other personnel, analytical procedures and observation and inspection. The
procedures also involve discussions among the audit team to determine whether the potential
exists for misstatements. These Standards also expand the documentation requirements for
auditors.
In summary, these Standards will result in a substantial change in audit practice. The Standards
will strengthen the auditors' understanding of the City and its environment, including its internal
control, to identify the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and determine
what the entity is doing to mitigate those risks. Auditors will identify assessed risks based on the
understanding obtained. There will be an improved correlation between those assessed risks and
the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed in response to those risks.

General Fund expenditures increased from $ 2,421,755 in 2005 to $ 3,301,238 in 2006, which
represents a change of 36.3%. For governmental fund types, capital outlay items are included in
total expenditures. For 2005, capital outlay expenditures totaled $ 76,373 compared to $ 560,153
in 2006. Without taking into consideration capital outlay, total General Fund expenditures
increased 16.8%. All departments posted increased activity except for general government. The
decrease in general government is due to the allocation of engineering expenditures to specific
projects. Public safety increased due to the purchase of a new fire truck and payment of the
administrative fees discussed in the revenue section. Public works increased due to an increase
in projects during the year. A graph depicting the expenditures for the General Fund for each of

GENERAL FUND
The graph below shows the budget to actual results for the General Fund revenue by revenue
source. In total, actual revenues exceeded budget by $ 295,821. Most of the excess of revenues
over budget was in charges for services and miscellaneous revenues. The variance in charges for
services is due to plan check fees not being budgeted and also increased developer fees. A
portion of the variance in miscellaneous is due to additional investment income. The City was
able to negotiate better investment rates with the financial institutions with which they invest
their funds. The other portion of the variation is due to receiving payments from developers as a
result of aggressively collecting the receivables outstanding.

public safety department, with a variance of $ 346,024. This variance was caused entirely by the
purchase of a new fire truck that was not budgeted in 2006. The variance of $ 122,200 in public
works was due to additional unbudgeted projects. There was a minor variance in general

The following graph provides a history of operating income (or loss) for the past five years for
the Sewer Fund. The yellow bar represents a true measurement of operations to be used as a
factor in determining whether sewer rates are sufficient to cover operating costs. As the graph
indicates, rates for the past four years were sufficient to cover operating costs, which includes
depreciation of fixed assets. Revenues that are sufficient to cover operating costs, including
depreciation, allow for an accumulation of cash to help fund replacement of depreciable assets.

experienced a 38% increase from $ 242,873 in 2005 to $ 314,847 in 2006. The increase in the
revenue is due to getting additional customers on the radio read meters to get more accurate
readings of their usage. Operating expenses decreased 8.8% from $ 164,850 to $ 150,249 in
2006 as a result of less main breaks in 2006. The Water Fund has shown operating income in all
